One of the biggest decisions you will make as a teenager is "where, oh where will I go to college" Many students start asking that question early , I know a few who have been taking PSAT, SAT, ACT tests since they were freshmen. The pressure is on, in-state or out of state, private or public, small or large, business or arts, the list goes on and on.
I took the ACT in high school (SAT was not required for my state schools). I studied and studied and got a pretty decent score, enough to get me into my family Alma Mater, University of Oklahoma. I had been a dream of mine to go to OU since I was a wee little tot, but once I got there I quickly realized the school was too big for me. Don't get me wrong I loved being away from my family for the first time and I absolutely loved the football team (still do) but coming from a high school graduating class of 280ish, having a math class with at least 200 was not my idea of fun. After this setback I got my degree at a different school and in a TOTALLY different state (Alaska). Even though my first dream didn't turn out as I had planned, I ended up traveling to some beautiful places (I have been dog sledding, skydiving, seen Mt. Everest, moose outside my dorm room window, glaciers, the Northern Lights, ...)
